says: There has been marked change Of front
in the attitude OF General Master Workman Pow
derby toward the trades unions and the opponents
OF the present administration since the recent
elections Of delegates to the Minneapolis conven-
tfon, when anti-administratiOn men were chosen
by nearly all OF the more powerful district assem-
plies throughout the country. Mr.. Powderly has
repeatedly since then, in private correspondence
and private interviews. acknowledged that grave
crisis in the history OF the order has been reached
ana mas practically confessed that in great meas
ure the knights equalization has fallen into the
cENtrO OF improper officers, who have led the or
der away from its Old landmarks
1t has just been ascertained that since the dele
gate elections Mr.. PoWderiy has been making
oyertuTeS OF peace to the prominent knights who
are acknowledged to be leaders in the opposition
element within the order, and TO the most ntiil-
entail Of the trades unionists who now are or
have formerly been knights as well. II is def
n1tely known that John Morrison, the redOubtabie
leader OF the opposition party in New York, whose
attacks on the general eXectlve board, and whose
vigorous resistance TO the attacks made upon hiIn
by the board have rendered him a formidable adj
yersary. has been approached by friends and ennis
Sarfes OF Mr. Powderiy, and asked, for the sake "
harmony, TO adjust what differences he may have
with the reigning administration before the gem
eral assembly meets IN October 1t is also known
that ten days ago similar overt ure5 Were made to
Geo. E. Mcneil, of Boston, perhaps the most in
fuenttal leader OF the knights in all New England
and the avowed enemy OF Powderiy. In order TO
enlist his sympathy and cooperation he was told
that the safety Of the order Is now in danger,
and that the Old leaders, who have lately cut
loose from the administration must return to their
former allegiance and help the order out Of the
present difficulty. Joseph II. Buchanan, the most
active leader OF the opposition party In the West,
has also been urged several times it is learned, by
Mr.. Powderly, within the past three weeks, to
foregO his grievances and make an effort TO har-
monte the opposing elements In the order. The
most prominent trades unionists, Adolph Strasser,
president OF the Cigarnakers' International Union,
and p j. Mcclure, secretary OF the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor and or the Brotherhood OF Carpen-
tiers, are alse reported as having been approached
by MIR. POWderly and his friends with a view to
settling the antagOnismS which exist between
the knights and the big trades unions. Thomas
B. Barry OF the general executive board, is said 10
have conferred With President StraSser in Buffalo,
and Mr.. Powderly himself with Secretary Mcclure
in this city.
